Thank you. Was literally about to Google it.I love how much beekeeping terminology seems to come from royalty or governance.
#4 Before trick-or-treating became a big thing, one of the common way youths in America celebrated Halloween was *checks notes* setting fire to abandoned buildings. Fun fact.
After making the mistake once, it became personal policy that I would never buy cups unless they were packaged in such a way that I could open the box and practice washing them.
My house is near-ish to an AFB that houses an Airlift Wing with C17s. One of their standard training routes has them turning in a spot with a perfect view from my front porch. Get to regularly see them at like 3000 ft while maneuvering. Never grows old.
Annie's pretty young, we try not to sexualise her.
First time I took my cat to the vet, it looked like a crime scene afterwards. They gave him a Valium prescription for future visits."Does he bite?""No, but he WILL scratch you.""Sure, ok."Cue the vet tech fetching some giant leather gloves after Kuroko bady scratches two people in about half a second and running to the corner. He was making the noises of a cat ten times his size.
This may be very useful as a power generation technology is some specific emergency situations. Installing the ground hardware to tether this is probably faster than any existing power generation system, so it might be an amazing life saver after some sort of catastrophic event destroys power generation in a small region. But it's categorically not some giant leap forward in green energy. It's a PR stunt, plain and simple.
Yeah, it's a proof of concept technology, and it will get better. I could point out that standard land based turbines are merely a proof of concept, given that oceanic wind turbines can produce 15+ megawatts.Also, this proof of concept, and the technology in general, hinges on a large amount of lighter than air gas to function. The only two lighter than air gasses available in such quantities are helium (which we're running out of) and hydrogen (explosive).
A standard modern land turbine (the standard windmills on tall towers you're used to) generates between 2-4 megawatts. So this thing does about the exact same job, but also uses up a LOT of helium, which we running VERY low on. It's a publicity stunt that probably cost more, and uses up a more precious resource.
I live in Springfield, and work retail in the part of town with one the highest Haitian populations. Half the people who come through our front door are Haitian. My coworkers and I are scared. Scared.We already plan to lock the front door, put up a closed sign, and turn off the lights when we see ICE in our strip mall ... if we have time. We've deactivated the alarm on our back door emergency exit, so we can let people run if need be.
Negative 40 ... the Universal Temperature.
Modern attempts to test Molyneux's problem pretty strongly suggest that they don't/can't.
The law is stupid. Just saying "you're trespassing" doesn't count. LEOs typically know that trespass laws are often misunderstood, and are allowed to ignore claims about such until they get proper confirmation. Which they can't get here (unless this individual has specifically banned these officers from their property previously). Once again ... laws are stupid and convoluted and dumb.
Fuck Home Depot, they've been the most blatantly right leaning of all the hardware stores for a decade. But they can't kick ICE out of their stores on a "warrantless raid." The bullshit administrative warrants that they always use do technically allow them full access to any spaces that are typically available to the public ... which includes stores during open hours.
Good on him for standing up for himself, but they're technically not trespassing. If he had said something along the lines of "you're no longer allowed on my property," THEN they'd be trespassing. But anyone is allowed to walk up to your front door and knock.
You have no idea how many hours a day I spend preventing Soviet sabotage of future Lunar missions.
Like ... just ponder it. I can't off the top of my head think of any famous ghosts (or even less than famous ghosts) that weren't mammals in life.
I'll toast to that.
#6 Because only mammals have ghosts.
New Ted Lasso season be getting crazy with it.
My first Platinum trophy was for a gooner rhythm game on the Vita (a Senran Kagura spinoff). The moment I unlocked it, I was like, "hope noone looks at my profile" lol.
It's all nonsense looking for attention. A ship of that size, from firm plan to even just starting construction takes longer than the rest of his presidency. He just wants to tell the world "I'm gonna build the best, the biggest, the most beautiful ships." It's gonna waste a shit ton of money drawing blueprints, but it's never gonna even start.
#2 Personally, I listen to an engineering disaster podcast while baking cookies. Close enough, I guess ... there's usually still people dying.
Who puts ice in orange juice?!?!?
If you're in a vehicle with a roll-cage, stay in during a crash.
It's one of those things that feels illegal but isn't ... after all your research, bring a cheat sheet with you to the polls. You can 100% write down on a piece if paper what your informed decisions were, and bring that with you into the poll, instead of trying to memorize every name or issue. Also, you are totally allowed to leave parts of your ballot blank. Couldn't decide between two candidates, or don't care about a specific prop? Skip it, leave it blank, your other votes still count.
Absolutely. There are mamy positions that don't require or don't allow party affiliation listed on the ballot. Those are the ones that I usually spend the most time trying to find a campaign Facebook page or whatever to sus out who's who before I vote.
After three years of bumming him smokes and having short chats, he's improved a lot. At least once a day he still says something that would get him downvoted to Hell here, still rough around the edges. But (at least around me) he's lost most of his knee-jerk racism and misogyny, and sometimes even calls out something problematic himself before I get the chance to go, "really? Don't say that!" Probably never gonna vote Blue, but at least less ridiculous than when I met him.
Older guy in my neighborhood who I try to be friendly with complained a couple months after Trump took office about one of the two food banks in our city closing. I explained it was probably because of all the aid programs that Trump shut down. He's not full MAGA, but he's the kind of old white guy from a small town who tends to agree a lot with them. He was just like, "That's not what I voted for." Expressed a sense of betrayel.
99% of the "the main stream media isn't reporting on this" posts are literally stories I'd already read on MSM. The other 1% is breaking news that I later see on MSM.
